Detroit Police Chief Accused Of Affair With The Same Woman Who Brought Down The Last Police Chief

Its latest chief Ralph Godbee was suspended for 30 days after an affair with
police officer Angelica Robinson took a turn for the worse, 7
Action News reported Tuesday.

His predecessor, Chief Warren Evans, was also forced to resign
after sleeping with a police officer Monique
Patterson.

In a bizarre coincidence, Godbee is also accused of having an
affair with Patterson.

But Godbee is in trouble for his alleged relationship with
Internal Affairs Officer Robinson, who tweeted Tuesday about her
relationship with the chief when she believed he was at a
conference with another woman, according to 7 Action News.

Godbee is also accused of having a third affair with an unnamed
woman outside the department.

Mayor Dave Bing said in a statement he suspended Godbee
"after learning of the allegations" against him. The Mayor's
Office refused to answer any questions beyond the official
statement.

"Wow look like the Chief is not who we all thought he was so
sad!" Godbee's estranged wife Yolanda
tweeted after news of the affair broke, adding "@mericapatterson don't let
this man bring u down! Know that u r NEVER the only one in his
life. Don't ruin your life he's no good."

Evans, Godbee's predecessor, was forced to resign in 2010 after
it was revealed he had an affair with Patterson.

Godbee reportedly also had a relationship with Patterson but it
was unclear if his relationship overlapped with Evans'.

The department doesn't forbid command officers from dating
subordinates but it can cause "a major conflict of interest,"
according to the television station.

The police department didn't responded to Business
Insider's request for comment. We're still waiting for a
statement from the Mayor's Office.
